Loughor Castle

If you expect the tower of London, don't even bother visiting! however if you love ruins & have an eye for spotting details like spiral staircases, fireplaces, doors etc, it's worth a visit. You can use your imagination as to its purpose so close to the river & the importance given the mound that was built for it.

This appears to be a free Cadw site and, despite what it said on the website, it appears open (there must have been issues which meant the site was fenced off in the past).
The tour of the castle does not take long as it is really a keep but it would have had quite a commanding view of the estuary in the past.
To get to the keep means climbing up the grassy motte.

Although not much is left of this historic place there is enough to warrant a short visit to this historic place which is close to the beautiful Loughor Estuary.

Visiting is really easy as the castle is located alongside the main A4240 road in the village.
You may be able to park on the road however, there is a small car park (free) close by (51.66332518930001, -4.078047165998971).
It is a short walk 5 mins from here to the castle and you will also be rewarded by great views of the river and the estuary from here.

Not much Castle left, so not worth a special trip but if you're passing have a quick look. Park next to the river, then walk up Ferry Road.

Great little piece of history driving through rural Wales. Worth a quick stop off, great to let the dog run around here and learn a little about local history.

Theres nothing much here, just a ruin of a small tower left.
It will take up about 3 minutes of your time to see it all.

I came here as I like my walks when my mind puts me too it I never really payed full attention to this castle that's on my doorstep it's not much left of it but what's left off it is in fact beautiful crafted castle that goes back to 1800s I could imagine this beautiful castle has alot of history ♥ great spot lovely views it's off the main road in loughour when weather nice worth a visit

The filth castle I have been in my life. The castle is small and nice and there is a a car park near by. It isn’t preserved and doesn’t have a walk path. I hope someone look care about it and turn it in a good place because there is a potential to be a nice place to visit.
